Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system in which nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disrupted, causing seizures, fits or periods of unusual behaviour, sensations and sometimes loss of consciousness. Nearly 10 percent of individuals may have a single unprovoked seizure. However, a single seizure doesn't mean you have Epilepsy. At least two unprovoked seizures are generally required for an Epilepsy diagnosis. Even mild seizures may require treatment because they can be dangerous during activities such as driving or swimming. Therefore we need to be aware of the condition and its natural solution. Because Epilepsy is caused by abnormal activity in brain cells, epileptic seizures can affect any process controlled by the brain. Common signs and symptoms may include: temporary confusion, staring vacantly, uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs, loss of consciousness or awareness, clenching of teeth and psychic symptoms. Symptoms vary depending on the type of seizure. In most cases, a person with Epilepsy will tend to have the same type of seizure each time, so the symptoms will be similar from episode to episode. Epilepsy has no identifiable cause in about half of those with the condition. For the other half, various factors may be responsible including – genetic influence, head injury as a result of a car accident or other trauma, brain tumours or strokes, certain infectious diseases, such as Meningitis, AIDS, viral Encephalitis, brain damage caused during or before birth, developmental disorders such as Autism and Neurofibromatosis. Factors that can increase the risk of Epilepsy include: age below 5 or over 60, family history of Epilepsy, Stroke and other vascular diseases, dementia, having very high fever in childhood. Nowadays, all treatments merely target the symptoms, without addressing the root cause of the problem. These medicatines have adverse effects too. However, effective solution has been achieved through Fundamentals of Ayurveda, Unani and Therapeutic Yoga. 'Naturoveda Health World' successfully employs a unique combination of these three systems to provide effective and long-lasting results without any side effect.
